Just trying to figure all this marriage / parenthood / career business out without losing my footing and plunging into the abyss. Regular everday stuff, really.
I remember swinging on a tire like that, only it had three chains that met at the centre top. You could wail it around in any direction, narrowly missing beheading yourself on the support beam.
Look at her! Adorable! And I once barfed all over the sand under a tire swing, too, and another time, one of the chains pulled out and the swing came down on my ankle, ripping off a good swath of skin. I had to soak my sock off in the bathtub that night. Yippee.
I'm an untenured university professor raising the world's biggest preschooler -- I work in multimedia and wet-wipes. I'm trying to learn how to be calm, and how to plaster walls.

This one looks safer....
Oooh, Patti, we had one of those in my school yard! It made me burfy and people were always getting their fingers pinched in the chain. Good times.
Actually, I'm so easily nauseated that even pushing a swing makes me burfy now ...
Are you being subtle, Mimi?
OH GOD NO, HT! :-)
How fuuuun!
